Hi Everyone,

My dad has transitional cell cancer which is very rare and uncurable but he is recieving treatment to give comfort. This is so new to us and we get very little info from the doc. His newest treatments has been chemo 2 wks on and 1 off. That has seemed to benefit him a lot rather than 1 every 3 weeks. Now he has been dealing with swollen feet. They're huge! The doc prescribed a lasix pill. Gosh, I don't know if I'm spelling that right. But it hasn't helped at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?
